This lively textual symposium offers a collection of formative research on the culture of global psytrance (psychedelic trance). As the first book to address the diverse transnationalism of this contemporary electronic dance music phenomenon; the collection hosts interdisciplinary research addressing psytrance as a product of intersecting local and global trajectories. Contributing to theories of globalization; postmodernism; counterculture; youth subcultures; neotribes; the carnivalesque; music scenes and technologies; dance ritual and spirituality; chapters introduce psytrance in Goa; the UK; Israel; Japan; the US; Italy; Czech Republic; Portugal and Australia. As a global occurrence indebted to 1960s psychedelia; sharing music production technologies and DJ techniques with electronic dance music scenes; and harnessing the communication capabilities of the Internet; psytrance and its cultural implications are thoroughly discussed in this first scholarly volume of its kind.

Pictures werent even very good- partly poor photography and partly many of the dogs just werent cute and this is a very cute breed so should have been hard to find cute ones and get them it cute poses.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Received shop-worn "new" copyBy Bruce F JenkinsonI have been adopted by a couple of greyhounds in the past. and among their qualities they are a beautiful animal. I own another greyhound book simply entitled "Greyhounds" by Barbara Karant. That book is larger. both in content and physical size. It is hardbound. features black and white as well as color photos on photo quality paper. and the photographer has a more creative eye as well. It sells for only $25.00 at Barnes and Noble. (Not sure what it is through .) The difference is simply night and day. After having that book this one is just okay. I purchased this book through and it came from one of their vendors. Although it was listed as new. it had obviously been around the bookstore for quite some time.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Amazing photos especially considering the subjects!By History Teacher and StudentAs the title of the review states. this book has amazing pictures and as an amateur photographer and happy owner of IGs I can only imagine how difficult it was to take such crisp pictures of such high energy dogs! Greyhounds are well known. but their little cousins arent quite as common and this book provides some wonderful images of the two breeds interacting and having fun. My wife and I thoroughly enjoy the book and its a conversation starter as any good coffee table book should be. I should note that the photographers preferred shooting style. at least for this book. is monochrome. so dont expect to see the various colors that IGs and Greyhounds can come in. However. there is something classic and elegant about monochrome photography and the photographer captures her subjects in crisp. perfect contrast. If you are a fan of either breed or are just looking for a book full of cute dogs for a coffee table or childs room. this book would make an excellent choice.
